Now I wonder how many of the 12,000 on ohpeewon were spam?
holy shit… lol.
I wasn’t 
I used to help run the Abletonlivedjs.com forums, and at one time we had over 16k members supposedly. I think we calculated that only about 2k were real users, and 70% almost never visited the forums anyway.
Yeah when I started looking at users it was about 10-11k and I believe when it when down there were 12k during that time I manually added people so those people were real, but as you mentioned I bet of those who joined maybe 10% we active for a time.
